The House followed later in the afternoon with a rival plan that would only fund DHS until March 19. With plenty of last-minute wrangling and in dramatic fashion, the measure failed in the House with a vote of 203 to 224.

This battle has been brewing in Congress for months, since President Obama issued a series of executive actions giving legal status to millions of undocumented immigrants.

Democrats have successfully stopped bills that seek to overturn his actions, so to thwart the law, some Republicans have suggested defunding DHS.

Thwart what law?

The law says to deport illegal aliens.

The Usurper’s memo says don’t.

The Congress better not fund his illegal amnesty for illegal aliens or it may be seen by the courts as an endorsement of his power grab.

Presidents can’t make or change laws on their own.

He’s doing it and it must be stopped.

If it’s not, Emperor Sans-cullote will get more aggressive.
